We need your help

If we hadn't found Molly, she'd still be shut in a dark dirty cage with no bedding. This spring, our inspectors will see many more cases of animals facing abuse and neglect. We need your help to get to them.

 Molly was trapped, filthy, and terrified

Molly was locked up and distressed

I still remember stepping into that dark house. The stench was overpowering.

Molly was shut away in the corner of the kitchen with three newborn pups. They were dirty, wet and scared. They had no bedding and nowhere to go to the toilet.

I couldn't imagine the stress of living in filth with no way to escape. I knew the dirty conditions were dangerous, so I rushed Molly and the puppies to our Birmingham Animal Hospital.

Our vet untangled Molly's stained, matted fur and gave her urgent treatment for dental disease.

We've been helping animals for 200 years – but dogs like Molly need you more than ever…

Molly's happy ending still brings a smile to my face. She now lives with rescue friend Luna in her forever home. Molly and Luna go for long walks together, play with toys and are fussed over by an owner who loves them.

But there are still thousands of animals out there who need our help. Inspectors before me have been helping animals for two centuries, but today we’re up against new challenges. Her former owner was breeding her for money, with no thought for her wellbeing. 

Help inspectors like me reach more animals like Molly, who are being abused and neglected behind closed doors. With your help, we can make sure no animal is forgotten this spring.

Help us save more dogs like Lara

Three-month-old Lara had been so badly beaten by her former owner, our rescuer wasn’t sure how to touch her without causing her pain.

She had emergency treatment for multiple fractures, then weeks of further care and surgeries. Foster carer Amy gave Lara a safe home to recover in and learn to trust humans again.

Thanks to our prosecution team, the abuser was brought to justice. And Lara has been adopted by her forever family, who will make sure she only knows love from now on.

Help us help more wildlife like Dolly

Dolly came to our Wildlife Centre in East Sussex in October 2020. The British Divers Marine Life Rescue team had found the young seal stranded on a beach and weighing just 12kg. Unable to survive by herself in the wild, she was transferred to our care.

We discovered a serious injury to Dolly's right eye. She was treated for infection and monitored closely, as with seals' eyes there's a real risk of rupture. Thanks to the expert care of our wildlife vet team, Dolly pulled through. After a few more weeks of feeding up and she was ready to go home. Here she is, being released back to the sea in January, weighing a healthy 38.6kg.

Frequently asked questions

  • How we use the money you give us

    We couldn't fund our life-saving work for animals without you.

    More than 80 percent of your donation (81p from every £1) will go to rescuing and caring for vulnerable animals, then rehoming or releasing them. This helps abandoned or neglected pets get the treatment and love they deserve. It helps injured or orphaned wildlife in need.

    The next 18p from each £1 goes towards fundraising. Each year, we rescue more than 100,000 animals. Without the funds gained through our marketing, we would not be able to finance our crucial work.

    The remaining 1p from each £1 goes towards governance. This will support our board members as they create campaigns and push for governance change. At home or abroad, our prevention campaigns are essential for improving the safety and happiness of animals.
